  1. 2011 Virtual College Fair

  2. Post secondary options Upon completion of high school, young men and women have a variety of options available to them. These options include; continuing your education at a technical/trade school, college or university, entering the military, or moving straight into a job. Some choose to do a combination of these things.

  3. This slide presentation will address the option of continuing your education.

  4. Definition of Degrees Certificate and diploma: are non-degree offerings below the associate degree and are most often offered in technical and vocational fields of study. They generally lead to employment in an occupational field. Examples - Certificate in Office Admin. Bookkeeping, Certificate in Automotive Technology.

  5. Definition of Degrees Associate Degree: two types of associate majors are offered. (1) Technological and vocational specialties that are generally completed in 2 yr. of college study and are usually sufficient for entrance into an occupational field, and (2) college or university parallel programs that are like the first 2 yr. of a 4yr college curriculum often referred to as a Transfer Degree. Examples - AS Degree in Accounting, AS Degree in Paralegal Studies.

  6. Definition of Degrees Bachelor’s Degree: sometimes called baccalaureate degrees, generally require 4 to 5 yr. of study. The bachelor of arts (BA) and bachelor of science (BS) are the most common baccalaureates, and both include general education courses, a major and electives. The BS is more likely to be awarded in the sciences and for professional or technical fields of study. BA degrees are more often awarded in the humanities and arts. However, there are no absolute differences between the degrees, and policies concerning their award vary from college to college.

  7. Once you have determined what kind of degree you will need to prepare you for the career you would like to someday work in, you can look at post-secondary schools that offer the degree/diploma programs that you need.

  8. Most colleges, universities and technical schools have minimum requirements that must be met in order to be accepted for admission. These requirements include; Grade Point Average (including all 4 years of high school), test scores (SAT/ACT/ASSET/COMPASS), and high school course requirements.

  9. Through this “virtual” College Fair, we hope to answer some of your questions about what those requirements are for specific schools.
